Chapter 5 Causes

Previous Chapter

The two Shao'an lay quietly on the stretcher, without a painful look, as if they were quietly asleep. Several elders all gathered around the corpse, and one of the elders said with a solemn face after examining the corpse

"There are no obvious external injuries on the two of them, and there are no signs of poisoning, but there is no pulse or breathing, which is very strange, do you say that this is man-made or something encountered"

Another elder said, "This is very similar to a kind of demon grass written in a book I read about the spirits of monsters in ancient times, after being sucked into souls. It seems that I have absorbed their spiritual power, because I can't detect their spiritual veins in them. “

"Then do you know where this grass is often found," the fourth elder echoed.

"There shouldn't be one here, this kind of grass tool is said to grow in places where demonic energy is prevalent, but I don't feel a trace of demonic energy in this other city. The second elder said strangely.

"Go and ask each of you if anyone has seen where they are, and I'll inquire if there are any similar cases here," the Grand Elder commanded.

......

The Great Elder came to a place where he listened to the joke and told the story, ordered a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine like everyone else, and sat down in the window seat. Listening to other people's gossip, just when I thought I couldn't get any valid information. I heard the two people at the table discussing,

"You say, what does this lord think, every night we have to go and sprinkle flowers on the flowers by the Internet," one of the men complained.

"Be content, it's an easy job, and the price is high, and you can find it in that place," said the other, eating peanuts on the table.

"This, too, I just feel strange, let's go, it's not early, let's go back and prepare."

"Let's go" and the two left.

On the way to the play, the Great Elder chatted with the others and learned that there was a monopoly in the city. As long as you have enough money, you can buy any message. After walking out of the door, the Great Elder followed the direction described and came to the place where the information was sold.

Each elder in his team interrogated each of the teenagers one by one if they had seen any trace of the two teenagers before they disappeared, but found nothing.

It is said that the two teenagers went out alone, without other personnel following. Just when the elders thought that there was no clue here, Qi Song walked to the door of the Great Elder's room and knocked on the door. With permission, Chisong came to the front of the Great Elder.

He said to the Great Elder, "Great Elder, can you take me to see the body of the missing person, I may be able to answer your questions." “

The Great Elder smiled and said to Qi Song, "How can I believe you?

Qi Song looked at the Great Elder with a firm look in his eyes and said, "I saw a very strange place in this city, Great Elder, I don't know if you have noticed? There are flowers planted on every street in this city, which seems to be very common. But I saw with my own eyes that I had picked a flower on the side of the road before I went out, and on my way back I saw his body. I feel that there is a problem with the flowers on the side of the road, and I suspect that someone deliberately placed these flowers on the side of the road, but I don't know what the intention is"

The Great Elder seemed to be a little strange when he thought of the flowers on the side of the road, and said to Qi Song, "I'll take you there, but don't make a noise."

Qi Song replied, "Yes, Elder"

After arriving at a room at the back of the inn, the Great Elder opened the door and let Qi Song in. Qi Song came to the two corpses, and after examination, he found that they were exactly the same as the pre-death demeanor of the person who had seen the dead on the street before. It's all peaceful, as if you're asleep.

Qi Song turned his head and said to the elder, "This is exactly the same as what I saw before, I suspect that there is something wrong with the flowers on the side of the road."

After pondering, the elder said to Qi Song, "Okay, you go back and rest, I will deal with this matter with the other elders."

......

After hearing what Qi Song said, the Great Elder told the other elders about it. After several elders discussed the plan, the Great Elder walked out of the inn and onto the street.

Like people passing by, he walked forward with a normal expression, and then picked a flower on the side of the road. After continuing for a long distance, no anomalies were found. Just when the Great Elder thought that the previous incident was a coincidence, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in the air, and the flower in his hand seemed to pierce his skin.

The Great Elder took care of his plan, held his head, pretended to be dizzy, and then fell to the ground. Then, a dark shadow suddenly appeared at the corner of the street, dragging the Great Elder out of the street. After feeling that he was being dragged by someone, the Great Elder felt it by his temperament, and seemed to be taken to a place where the air was humid, the ground was very cold like wet ice, and there seemed to be a lot of birds chirping around.

The Fourth Elder and the Second Elder, who were lying in ambush around, watched a man dressed in black and masked take away the Great Elder, and quietly followed behind them. I saw that the man in black was fast, and he came to a densely forested mountain far from the street in a few jumps.

The two elders saw that the man in black was very vigilant, so they didn't dare to follow him very closely. followed the man in black to a dense forest, only to see the man in black quickly draw a pattern in the sky above a stone tablet, and then disappeared.

The Second Elder and the Fourth Elder came to the stone monument where the man in black was just now, and looked at each other. I didn't expect the demons to penetrate so quickly, and a thousand years of suppression didn't seem to be able to stop the demons from advancing.

Because this stele seems to be only used by the people of the demon race, the material of this stele is very unique, he grew in a place where the demonic energy is strong, and finally put it in the mortal world for at least a hundred years in order to eliminate the demonic energy. As for why a stone tablet is so complicated, except for the people of the demon race, other people don't seem to understand, because before that, few people from the demon race came to the human world, and the four worlds of the demon race, the human race, the immortal race, and the demon race did not interfere with each other.

So the fourth elder and the second elder, I hid a few dozen meters away from the stone tablet and observed secretly.

......

After the Great Elder was thrown into a room, there were suddenly many more whimpering sounds in his ears. The Great Elder opened his eyes when he felt that there seemed to be a lot of ordinary people and spirit beings around him.

I saw that I was locked in a black iron cage, and there seemed to be several people who had been arrested around me. Outside the cage, there were piercing screams of pain.

The Great Elder immediately understood that someone had deliberately caught the person with flowers here, and after absorbing the aura, he threw the corpse back. The Great Elder immediately felt very puzzled, why did no one stop such a blatant behavior, and their behavior was still so rampant.

Just as the Great Elder sat down and pondered, a man in a black robe walked up to the Great Elder and said

"Next is you, follow me".
